Description
A fun route with some strenuous moves and some of that I-really-dont-want-to-fall-right-now feeling.
Climb to the third bolt on easy terrain then bear right into the steep corner. Clip the fourth bolt and the fun begins. Stem, crimp, hold on for dear life and clip the fifth bolt. Look up to the sixth bolt, decide theres no way, then make a tenuous move to your right and the arete. Breath easier and continue up through the sixth bolt and to the anchors. Lower or rap back to the belay.
Since this is on the northeast of George it is in the shade in the afternoon. It was comfortable even on a 90 degree day.
Overall a fun route but the best part is quite short.

Location
Get to Georges lowest, northeast belay (two hanger-and-ring anchors) via George Direct, the first pitch of Lounge Lizards, or by scrambling up some dicey terrain to the east. Follow the bolts up the broken staircase.
